Most of the roads are asfalted, but there are some non-asfalt roads for more adventurous, perhaps mountbiking, tours.

If you are mountbiker, I would reccommend routes around Lumbarda and Zrnovo, especially roads around Defora ( southern side of Island near Zrnovo) as well as Kneze-Pupnat one.

Otherwise, just stay on main roads, make shure you keep extremly right and beware of parked cars – ready ( as always) to open their doors right into your face, (and then say: sorry, i didn’t see you ) 😉

Yes, it is possible!There are several rant-a-bike places around the island Korcula as well as in Korcula town where you can rent a bike for few hours, a day or week and more.Check all info at this pagehttps://www.korculainfo.com/bike-rental-korcula/

I’ll be coming to Korcula for two weeks from the 16th of August, and want to take my bike, for when I get bored of being inactive. I’m a keen mountain biker, and would prefer to take my own bike, as rental bikes can be basic and in poor repair.

Firstly, what sort of riding can I find? Is there enough rocky, bumpy stuff offroad to justify bringing a full suspension bike, or would I get away with my more general mountain bike?

Are there are local mountain bike clubs who meet regularly, who wouldn’t mind a crazy english guy joining them on a ride or two? Although I can look at a map, local knowledge is always best for finding out where to ride.

Is there lots of thorny vegetation around offroad? Do I need to bring lots of tubes incase of punctures, and are there any local shops which sell bike stuff like inner tubes?

Please reply via the forum, as I don’t seem to be able to create an account on these boards at the moment.

yes there are good quality bikes to hire in korcula. 🙂 specialised, trek, cannondale, kona are just some of the available bikes. no problem as far as quality is concerned.there are several bike rental shops in korcula right in the centre of the town. 8)
